Super "eye" to spot this, Courtenay! The pov, design, colors, tones, lighting & mood make this a winning image, my friend! Good luck! #9608039

Anita Hogue August 16, 2011

A beautiful capture, Courtenay! Love your perspective! I sure was hoping Mel would have given us the answer about the fence. Now I'm curious. I've been to the one in Key West and they lock it up at night. Guess people try to steal and vandalize.
